Arnold: Salah deserves high praise and the Premier League champions will become fierce

According to live websites, Reds right-back Alexander-Arnold talked about multiple topics of the team in an interview, saying that Salah deserves high praise, the Premier League title competition will be more intense, and the team needs to move forward.

Whatever the situation, this team always finds a way

Always. Last week's result gave us the confidence to keep going, but we were again frustrated in this round of the league and it seemed like we were going to repeat last week's mistakes. But it was clear that this time we were going to score earlier and hold out until the end of the game. We had a tough last 10 or 15 minutes, the team stopped functioning and we lost the way we played in other games to get into our box. They create scoring opportunities, which is something we need to work on to make that happen again. We need to play these games more comfortably.

How important is patience when it is impossible to beat an opponent

Patience is important. The opponent tried everything to beat us. They never really pressed us, wanted us to take the ball, get into their half, and then just block our attack and try to play counter-attack. It can be frustrating, but it can also make us feel the best. It's always great to play 4-0 or 5-0, but last week and this week's games really had to work hard. When the other side wants to draw in these matches, the game may eventually be drawn. So when you find a way to win, it shows your good mindset and it means more stuff.

Talking about Salah, who scored 21 goals in 22 games

And his assists, which are terrible stats. Few players can say they have achieved this in the last 5 to 10 years. There are 2, up to 3 players, all at a high level every week. Honestly, I don't remember the last game in which he neither scored nor assisted. Having him is a bonus for the team, he's a good player and he's working hard, it's not something you can achieve by luck. You see he's working hard every day, putting himself into the game, taking care of himself. He deserves every round of applause, every award, he deserves to be highly praised, and no one here can say a bad word about him.

All the top teams in the Premier League have won on penalties, which shows how fierce the competition for the title is

Obviously it's going to get intense and exciting. Whenever someone mentions it, I laugh it off. That's what we want as players, obviously we're going to chase it like we did a few years ago, and you still have to fight for it. At this point in the season, every team is fighting for something and I think it's only going to get more tense. In a period like this, we just have to make sure we win every game and it's probably the most important moment of our year. This is not a run-in period, but a fast-moving mid-season. If you don't win one or two games, you're punished. So far we're not bad and need to move on.
